Forests stretch over a third of the Earth’s surface, they are home to more than half of terrestrial species of living organisms, live hundreds of millions of people. 7 billion people use at least something produced by forests every day.

At the same time, forests are one of the most poorly protected areas on our planet. They are in clear danger.
